If you’re worried that Facebook and Twitter might be “shadowbanning” you because of your (conservative) views, get over it. They are private companies, and you’re there as their guest: you have no right to be on them. These platforms are neither free or open, but I’m okay with that. I can turn them off and […]

The Dead Mall. A scene all too common across all of America. Sure, there’re a number of reasons why this is occurring. Chief among them, however, is U.S. e-commerce policy, which has engendered ravenous online companies like Amazon, hastening the demise of (apparently undesirable) local retail outlets. You know, the Internet was supposed to change […]

Yesterday was the so-called “Day of Advocacy” for those hoping to pass the House’s Net Neutrality Congressional Review Act resolution (CRA). The Senate passed its CRA vote in May (mostly along partisan / Democrat lines), but House Democrats need to bring in over twenty Republicans for it to progress any further. The day’s events included, […]

The following statement may be attributed to Mike Wendy, President of MediaFreedom.org: Alexandria, VA, June 11, 2018 – Today, the FCC officially repealed the prior administration’s Net Neutrality laws, returning the Internet and its ecosystem to the light-touch regulation which fostered its explosive uptake and success. To this end, MediaFreedom would like to thank the […]

The New York Post lede says it all: Reed Hastings and the Obamas are making bank with Netflix deal. We don’t know exactly how big that bank is, but we do know that the Obamas will produce “films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features” to fill their […]

The following statement may be attributed to Mike Wendy, President of MediaFreedom.org: Alexandria, VA, May 16, 2018 – On June 11th, the FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order (RIF) will go into effect, officially overturning Obama’s Net Neutrality utility regulation for ISPs. But today, Senate lawmakers, led by Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), passed a controversial Congressional […]

Senator Ed Markey believes Net Neutrality is a “razor sharp” mainstream issue, which America understands and supports. But for all the bluster, all the corporate PR, all the activists’ website promotions, all the pay-walled elites so excited about the possibility it could be reinstated via the Senator’s upcoming CRA vote, there was not a single shred […]

On May 9th, Senate Democrats will force a vote to bring back FDR policies for the Internet. They’re calling for the Great Depression to “guide” America’s 21st Century communications networks, seeking to resurrect 30’s era utility regulation for ISPs. “Hello, FDR? You there?” Perhaps they didn’t notice, but the Internet grew precisely because that connection […]

A couple of days ago, Senator Maria Cantwell and 10 Democrat Senators sent a letter to FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, urging him to put a spanner in the works of Sinclair Broadcasting’s proposed merger with the Tribune Company. Sinclair’s crime (on top of it being a conservative voice in a sea progressive media organizations)? In […]

Last week during the Senate Facebook hearing, Senator Ted Cruz took FB’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, to task for his company’s left leaning bias, which, through this architecture, has seemingly routinely “Facebooked” (i.e., censored and screwed) conservative voices on its properties. U.S. communications law creates a legal fiction which allows companies like FB to traffic in […]
